Lena Frost is a force to be reckoned with. A woman who has made her way in society without family or fortune, sheâs about to realize her first big success as an artist. . . . Until her business partner makes off with her money, leaving her with little more than her hopesâand a dead body in her studio. Now Lena is at the mercy of a strikingly handsome stranger demanding answers she dare not reveal . . .
Is it her seductive eyes, or his suspicion that sheâs up to no good that have Clive Somerville shadowing Lenaâs every move? Either way, his secret investigation for the Home Office has him determined to uncover Lenaâs hidden agenda. But the closer he gets to her, the more he longs to be her protector. Is she a victim of circumstance? Or a dark force in a conspiracy that could destroy everything Clive holds dear? Discovering the truth could have dire consequences, not only for Lena, but for his heart . . .
